Kieran Turner's photos

Well, not "SaraAndGordon", just two friends, Sara Parsowith and Gordon Jackson. I've always just liked this one. Gordon has such a calming smile :)

Preparing for the Sussex University summer ball, 1991. Matt Ward ("of the F.O."), Simon Lambourne, Me, and Kristen Hallahan. The location is the roof of York House, with the refectory in the background.

Actually, it's okay, those glasses of port look well filled! Preparing for the Sussex University summer ball, 1991. (On the roof of York House.) This photo is really here to show that I did once have short hair. If you know me, can you spot me?

Winter of 1990/91, and I'd just arrived at a new university (for the first but not the last time...) And it was pretty! Back then it snowed in the winter. These days it doesn't seem to in Brighton. But then, we played with snowballs. And I gained my almost-first girlfriend thanks to accepting an invitation to go "sledding" in the middle of the night. I did point out it was "sledging" in British English. She dated me anyway ;) We made the sledges from old vegetable boxes (donated by the "Crumbs" café in York House) wrapped in bin-liners. They didn't work well...

My grandma in the gardens. This was about the second film I'd ever developed and printed myself so I was quite proud of it ;)

An old industrial complex in Birmingham. Far from being derelict, much of it is now being made into thriving small business units and art studios. There's even a café and gallery in the building I was shooting from. Wonderfully, the area is also sprinkled with canals. Plural, because far from being A to B straight lines, they have all sorts of off-shoots, like "driveways" leading up to, and IN to factories.

Edinburgh, for the festival in 2000, when we took our physical theatre version of Frankenstein there. Five stars in the Scotsman! Here, our illustrious director Tanushka along with "the monster", Steve Ryland. www.companycollisions.com

Please look at this one "large" to see the expressions on the faces properly! Edinburgh, for the festival in 2000, when we took our physical theatre version of Frankenstein there. Five stars in the Scotsman! I was sound technician and the director's "outside eye", or assistant if you like. Here with some of the rest of the crew outside a pub in Edinburgh. Yes! Outside, in Edinburgh... the nicest city not to have nearly enough outside tables. The kiddywink is Leon, the little boy of Mandy (pointing at you). The chaps are director Tanushka's brothers. www.companycollisions.com

Shame about the candles... but Bob had just noticed OC ("Other Cat") jumping onto the garden wall, so this scene was likely to change rapidly... and he just made a nice shape. Pentax ME-Super, 50mm, Kodak Portra NC, taken through tungsten light which may have done weird & wonderful things to the light meter...

They're not actually glum, merely contemplating something or other... :)

One of my (assorted) step-sisters, Lesley, and my gran. Shame about the motion blur, but I like the "moment".

Each and every one of them is shouting, "Mike!" The little red blip on the left is the coast-guard, keeping the pirates out of Aberdeen harbour... This photo only really works when viewed at least "large": www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=100414447&size=l

At Ki:lau. I love this art because it's not paint — it's gaffer tape!

The man at the front right is Vasya, a very good and kind man, who's home I stay in when working for www.aidconvoy.net in Chernihiv, Ukraine. Martin (far left), Jim (next) and I are here visiting the home of Vasya's brother, where we are about to be cooked, quite literally, in the banya (sauna)!

Jim asks if the lesson is now over... (Having fun whilst on convoy... www.aidconvoy.net ) Apologies for the terrible exposure. That little Nikon didn't really EVER get it right, but this was a pretty dingy room.

I love the style of this kind of propaganda art. It's perhaps more poignant because of it's faded colours and obvious age, and the fact that it's still in situ. (In a school in Ukraine.) Seen on convoy: www.aidconvoy.net
